I closed the door of my room. I heard his footsteps at his door. Probably he's gonna take a bath. I changed my clothes in the dressing room. Then I headed to the bathroom. While taking a warm bath in this cold day I felt really fresh. Many types of thought came in my mind.
First of all I got so many friends in one day, which I never got in my whole life. There I go, I got a protective brother as my roommate. "Wait a minute,brother???" I asked myself. Is he really thinking me as his sister or he likes me? "Bruhh.. leave the matter. We are just friends." I calmed myself down. Then I thought if he's my brother then Robin and Jackson might be my brothers. Or if he's my friend then they are also my friends. It's more frankly to have friends than brothers.
Thinking about Bethany...one day she and I are gonna be best friends. She's really very friendly. Nikki is perfect to be a reporter. She got almost every type of news in the school. Jackson doesn't seems to be liking Bethany. But he's very brawny. Does Bethany likes him for that? I don't know,maybe.
"Wait a second!I don't know what's Robin's last name." Oh no! aren't we supposed to be friends? Then why we still have many,common unknown things? I decided that we should share everything to each other. That's how our bonding will be strong.
When I came outside I heard Eric was talking to someone. I came to the drawing room. "Hey,it's not that. If mom really tried to hide it,then lots of hate to you Nat" Eric spoke to the phone. His eyes figured me out and he said, "Okay,let's talk with you later." "Isn't this too fast?" He asked me. I found some joke in it. I smiled and said, "Oh,no..it's too fast. Maybe I should take more time from tomorrow." He laughed. I remembered about his girlfriend,and understood there is no way he can like me. I smirked and asked, "Well,if your mom did something then why are you sending your hate to your girlfriend?"
His eyes flickered, "Who,girl..friend?" His voice was strange. "Anna,phew.. I don't have a girlfriend,she's my sister Natasha." He explained. And I started to be tensed again. So there is a little chance he could like me. I swept my mind.
"Will you please cook something?" I asked him. He raised his eyebrows and said, "Why should I cook for you?" I thought about it and hesitated, "Cause I...I..I mean..I." "You can't cook,great!" He slaped his head. I felt really bad. "I thought I could be free here,but now I have to take care of a girl. What a fate!" He shouted. "You don't have to take care of me,I didn't tell you to. By the way I can cook for myself. I just won't cook for you because it'll not be edible." I came back to my room. I went to the balcony to hang my washed clothes.
"It's good that this apartment has two bedrooms,two bathrooms,two toilets and two balconies. If there was one then how could I live with that man? I started to blame him. After combing my hair I tied it. I wore a yellow shirt and black pajama. I don't know why but I love it whenever I wear black colour. I think it suits me.
When I came outside with a bad temper I smelled a good fragrance. Maybe it was pudding. The next moment I sorted myself. No Anna,you'll not eat it,you'll not eat anything from this guy. I moved forward and sat on the sofa. "Aren't you hungry?" A keen voice asked. "Nope,tell me when you're done. I'll cook for myself." I answered.
He giggled, "I'm sor..ry,you don't have to eat those inedible foods. I made this for you too." I don't know why but I felt a huge relief. "Though I don't like pudding that much,but I'll eat it just because I can't cook." I said that to avoid the misunderstanding. He said, "Okay,now take this bowl." He handed over the bowl of pudding to me. He went back to the kitchen. Maybe he's gonna sit on the sofa too,so I moved to one side.
I was right. He sat on the left side of the sofa. Tentatively he understood that I wanted to maintain the distance. I switched on the TV. But I knew there wasn't a connection. But I startled when I saw there was a connection. "Oh my goodness,did you do that?" I asked in amazement. "Yep,I called the online business of broadcasting company. They assured me that we'll get the connection in 30 minutes." He felt proud. My hands were trembling. I missed one episode of each of my dramas. I tapped the numbers. It started to happen.
We were eating and watching. "Really?" He asked in disgust. I realized it was a romantic moment. I controlled my rage and said, "If don't like it then you can go to your room." He said, "I bought the connection. Okay then let's turn off the TV and share our history." I considered it,then thought it's fine. "Fine" I answered and turned off the TV.
"First tell me about you,then I'll tell you my story." I ordered. He speculated for a moment and began, "I was born in Midwind,Fleerland. Supposedly I'm a Fleer. When I was young,probably 2 years I lost my dad. I mean he left us." I moved my body to his angle,he did it too. "You mean..he died?" I asked. "No,he left my mom....divorced." He continued. "I even don't remember his face. After he left us,we moved to BlueMoon,Anase. We bought an apartment named Apt Valley." I stopped him, "You lived in Apt Valley,I used to stay there too." I was overjoyed. Skeptically he crooked his eyebrows. Then he commented, "So,what? I don't remember anyone named Anna." I smirked, "I don't remember anyone named Eric too." He continued, "One day in Apt Valley I was playing with my friends. Then a car came across the street. We watched it from the park. A woman,and a little maid came outside of the car. Then the little girl talked with her mom and started to wander around. I saw her and headed towards. When I reached her she was scared. She asked me what I was looking for. I answered many questions she had asked. We became friends soon. Her name was Juliet. She had chocolate brown colored eyes like you." He stared at my eyes. I moved them from him.
"Then what happened?" I asked him,though I knew what that was. "We used to play together,everyday. I was 8 years old then and she was 6. But the unfortunate came soon. One day she told me she has to leave the apartment. They were moving to somewhere else. But we made a promise the we will not forget each other. And she told me that her name wasn't real. I asked her what was the truth but she didn't tell anything. She just cried the whole day. Yeah,it was heartbreaking. She told me that she never had a real friend but me. And she was gone. That is the most important part of my life." He stopped for a minute.
I started to be nervous because I forgot all of these incidents. It's pretty normal for a 6 years old girl. But I felt implicated. Yes,I lied to him but there was reasons. 'I was his Juliet' I said in my mind.
"Hey,are you being emotional?" He asked with a deep voice. I was just hiding my tears and said, "Nope, why should I? Okay I'm done with the pudding. I'll be right back." I smiled. I put the bowl on the basin,and went to my room.
